📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Project "Learning by to doing - Diaconal Year in Poland" is involving volunteers from different countries into structures of social/charity/educational institution. One of them is The Primary School in Konin.

There are 18 days of vacations during the activity – 2 per worked month. Christmas and national holidays are free.

🎒 Leisure activities

Our volunteers will participate in two ESC trainings. The volunteers will be supported by the mentor who is an emphatic and open person. Also all the other workers will be open and sensitive for the needs of the volunteer. The volunteer in a host country will be also supported by the coordinating organization that will organise 3 seminars during the 9 months, and important part of the seminars is the evaluation and giving support to the volunteers in their "project" life. The volunteers will learn also about Poland, its culture, histrory, traditions, regions.
